Pork Braised in Milk v.2

I previously posted Pork Braised in Milk , which was an Argentine dish of Italian origins.  I recently made a simpler version of this idea from www.mountainviewtoday.ca, an Alberta newspaper.  I thought the idea was very good, but needed more cooking time than in the original recipe, which was 80 minutes at 325 degrees.  I Read More …

Brussels Sprouts and Italian Sausage Stir-Fry

This is an adaptation of an idea in bonappetit.com and it made an easy and tasty midweek dinner.  I chose it because Carol likes Brussels Sprouts, which are a main ingredient.  In the original recipe, 2.25 tsp. of five-spice powder was added at the end.  Carol is not a big fan of five-spice powder, so Read More …

Sweet and Sour Spare Ribs

I very much liked the idea for this pork spare ribs braise in Hsiao-Ching Chou’s book Chinese Soul Food, but I thought her version (which I made last night) was too salty and not sweet and sour enough.  In the recipe below, I have noted what I think would be the right proportions, and what Read More …

Canadian Bacon

The photo shows sliced and unsliced Canadian bacon (called back bacon in Canada).
